South Carolina will see about 75% coverage during this eclipse. If you would like to safely view it, you can get eclipse glasses at many locations. I've seen them at Walmart and the state museum or you can order on Amazon. While this won't be as spectacular as the total eclipse we had a few years ago, it's still pretty cool! Visit nasa.gov for more information.

Congaree National Park is one of the only places in the US where this particular type of fireflies gather for mating season. It is truly a magnificent sight. Due to the popularity of the event, the park has started a lottery system for entrance passes. If you are interested in seeing this amazing phenomenon in person, you can register to be included in the lottery drawing. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/eBoQjmCULSNGDwms/?mibextid=WC7FNe
